No new "Dance" for Paula Abdul


All hopes of Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey possibly replacing Paula Abdul as an American Idol judge next season were crushed Friday when her rep announced that she would not move over to Fox's new talent contest, So You Think You Can Dance.
Abdul's publicist said Friday that her schedule won't allow for any participation on the new dance series, where she had originally planned to appear as a guest choreographer in several episodes.
"We had not anticipated the time commitment required to successfully produce and appear" in the show, her flack Ken Sunshine said in a statement. "It became apparent that her prior commitments ... made it impossible to be part of this new show."
Fox Broadcasting and "Dance's" producers issued a statement saying they "respect Paula's decision to step away. We wish her all the best and look forward to working with her soon," the statement read.
Around the time Abdul's flirtation with the new show hit the news, reports had also surfaced that American Idol producers were in talks with both Houston and Carey as potential replacements for Abdul, should she decide to bounce.
So You Think You Can Dance features contestants competing against each other for $100,000 and an apartment in New York for a year. The winner will be chosen by viewers.
